    yes a 454 out to 468 the 468 run good but why stop there ? for a mild build i would look at some things that make more hp. some engines can take 0.100 over but this the over bore is off set by the walls moving around and the rings not sealing up from thin bores and some engine can not go to .060 so i would say to get any thing you would have to go to .060 and past .there is not to many blocks that you can do this to on bow ties big blocks i have bore them .250 over for a4.500 bore and have gone to 4.600 but they are heavy blocks same with the dart blocks and world blocks
